Mabel Carruthers and Co.

Comic dialogue.
Absurdity of plot is permissible when the comedy results achieved thereby justify, but Mabel Carruthers and company (the latter two men) have missed the above mark by a mile. Miss Carruthers portrays a sort of a sophisticated simp hired as an office assistant by a crook who has a diamond necklace concealed in a grip, the mate to which she carries in her hand. Later they are switched. She drinks copiously from a large bottle and achieves the most unique drunk seen in many a day. The dialog is unfunny, tiresome and dull. The situations without the comedy results impossible. The act won't do.
